As a designer, I look to the world around me, both past and present, for inspiration.In my collections I consider conscious design, using
upcycled and sustainable fabric to ensure that my design process has a responsible impact on the environment, whilst also informing others of the
importance of sustainable and circular fashion.
Conscious and sustainable design is a key feature of my collection as Ias I’ve created my own patch work denim from donated denim
jeans to create multiple pieces. My interest in textiles and creating textures has allowed me to elevate my work and make thepieces unique to me. Claiming
the cloth as my own adds more depth and personality to the fabric.

The patchwork denim proved difficult towork with at times. The alount of layers and avoiding the original
metal studs in the jeansmade them difficult to sew. To achive the outcome
- Had to precisly plan out my patchwork to avid as muchmetal work as possible as well as ares such as waistbands.
- Be more cautious when sewing to ensurei was - Be more cautious when sewing to ensurei was avoiding the studs.
- Costantlytrimming down exces denim.
Wrist buckle and strapdetail. Gold metal buckle will be used on final garemnt.
For my first outfit i wanted to include a waistcoat as they
were very popular with the minersi wanted to combine this idea with
braces for the backk to justhave the two straps.
I wanted to include the original clips of the braces but decided agains this as it pulled the fabric.
Donkey jacket is inspired by the originaldesigned and constructde for the same
purpouse as been warm, hard wearing anddurable but with added design features such asthe embroided yoke and buckled wrist details.
Boilersuit is oversided to allow lots of movment and no restrictions.Toile was designed with four large pockets but as the fabric of the final garmnet was the main featue decided not to add pockets.
Two large functional pockets onthe front of the bib secured with a distressed buckle
The bib was cut as one pattern,The centre front being cut on the fold. So that i had no seams in the garmnt To take away the attention for the seams in the patchwork.
Similary the same technique was applied to the trouser legs, eliminating applied to the trouser legs, eliminating the side seams once again.
Third and final outfit is made up of a pair of dungarees over shirt and turtle neck jumper inspired
by clothing worn by coal mining with an industrial feel to the garments.
To claim the cloth I’ve combined free machine and hand embroidery to add more layers and textures
to each of my garments. Adding these textiles to mycollection has made each unique and personal to me.
The thickest green yarn that was usedis the same as the one used to make my
knitted jumper and the accessories.This helped to bring my collection together
for a more cohesive look.
For each area of embroidery in mygarments between 4-6 layers of free machine embroiedry has been combined with free hand embroidery to create the desired texture.
To give my collection another personal touch i decided to make my own copper enamel buttons.
These buttons were then used through my collection on numourace garments.
My collection is inspired by my family heritage and coal mining. The garments have an industrial theme, these these buttons carry the theme through each garment
down to the fastenings
“The UK is the fourth largest producer of textile waste in Europe, according to a new study”
Sustainability is incredaly important to meas a designer and include it in every collection.
This collection was no different.
My friends and family donated their old denim jeans that were no longer needed/wanted for me
to gito give the garments a new lease of life.I unpicked each pair of jeans and dyed the blue
pairs to match my colour theme.
With the individual piece of denim i was then able to reconstrucd the jeans using
patchwork techniques to create meters of fabric with twin needle top
stitstitching. Ready to cut the patterns into.

Clean classic shirt with largecowboy shaped yoke. The shape
of the shirt is minimal as the detailwill be in the fabric.
Inspired by western cut and shapes.The fabric choice also as denim
was designed for the working classas it didn’t need to we washed as oftern
its durable and hardwearing.
Hnad embroided All SaintsLogo. This wasn’t used on the shirt
as i wanted the shirt to be identified asall saints inspired without the logo.

Each of my patterns will be made up of two groups of illustrations. the first being decorative and the second group will
be made up of endangered ocean animals. A mix of both will then be used to create a seires of repeat print patterns.
Colour palette options were take from secondary research images, looking into
ocean wildlife and the variation of colours find in the depths of the ocean.
The colour scheme consists of shades ofblue, gren and purple. I think these colours
will will work well together in a repeat print pattern.

For the “COATS X GFF Sustainable competition”, I was inspired by my family heritage and the former coal mining village of Gilfach Goch, which has been home to my family for countless
generations. Located in the South Wales valleys with a population of just under 3,500, it is a tight knit community. Between 1868 and 1960 Gilfach Goch had three coal mines: the Brittanic, the
Dinas Main, and the Trane and Llewellyn. My great grandfather worked in the Brittanic Colliery for most of his life.
TThe clothing that coal miners wore is the inspiration for the silhouettes in my collection, and I have ensured that each garment has the same key properties as the original coal miners garments: highly breathable, moveable, resistant to tears, and easy to care for. I have combined my love of textiles and
upcycling to create garments that are timeless, unique and have as low an impact on the environment as possible. Claiming the cloth was incredibly important and, although I had created my own meters
of fabric, I wanted to claim it to further personalise my garment. To do this, I have used machine stitch working in various colours to create many layers which I then hand stitched on top of with different
yarns and darning thread to add more textures to the embroidery.
I have had a passion for upcycling and sustainability since the very beginning of my fashiondesign journey, completing many projects with sustainability as the main focus. For my
foundation final major project, I created a series of flower girls dress from donated bridalgowns. For my dissertation I created a series of children’s garments that were able to grow as
the child grows to prolong the usage of garments, therefore lowering the environmentalimpact and timpact and textile wastage. For this competition collection I have used donated denim and a
patchwork technique but, unlike a traditional patchwork, I have layered the fabric to leavethe original seams raw and exposed.
The boilersuit is a wardrobe staple both past and present: a popular garment for workwear and fashion, adopted by luxury designers and highstreet brands alike. The
boilersuit was originally created to protect the clothes and skin of workers and was worn by factory works,fighter pilots and, of course miners specifically, coal miners, and was originally constructed o and was originally constructed of thick canvas or denim for its durability, strength
and not needing to be cleaned as often as other fabrics.
The Coats ‘Moon’ thread has been used heavily in this garment for both the internal stitching during construction but also the external decorative
stitch. This created the placement print on the back shoulder blade that grows over to the front. Sewing layers of different colours leaving excess
length of threads, this compliments the raw edges of the patchwork. II’ve also used Coats ‘Permess Eco Verde’ to reinforce the collar,
button stand and the area with the decorative stitchto ensure that the denim would hold its shape with the amount of stitching.
Countless pairs of denim jeans there were donated to me by my friends and family.
I then dyed the blue jeans to better suit my theme.
I unpicked all the seams onthe jeans to keep the raw edgesand original overlocking to use and a feature in my patchwork.
With the flat pieces of denim i was then able to layer them togetherusing a patchwork technique but ensuring original seams are seen.
Finishing the seams with atwin needle top stitch. Using this process i was ableto create meters of fabric to cut my petterns.
